I assembled the 3 background sections on to some black card and then wrapped some black silky crush ribbon around it. I made a large bow using 2 lengths of the same ribbon. I cut a small motif out of Kraftcore using the Botanical Swirls & Accents die set. I sanded it to reveal the core, popped it on top of my bow and then added a Black Dazzler. I also added a couple of Black Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

I had to laugh I thought I was n Sue's blog until I read what you had put her work is so distinct. A beautiful and elegant card much as I don't like too much black. The sentiment is so true and yes it was used in a film but can't remember which. It has been attributed to Hilary Cooper as she travelled the coast of California! But in reality the author is probably unknown.

Good Morning Julia,Yes, I too thought I was in Sue's blog for a moment, a very rich looking card today, love the layout and the colours. This is my favourite sentiment of all, so true. A lovely card.Have a great day today.Michelle(happy2craft)

Morning Julia, A stunning card, I love the rich colours used, I love the stamping strip down the side, the cut-fold-tuck die-cut really stands out beautifully, the bow is gorgeous, and the sentiment is truly word perfect. Absolutely love it.Lots of love from Patricia xx

I love the tuck and fold octagon shapes on this card. I didn't buy the sets of dies this time so will have to buy them separately. I too (like one of your other ladies who commented) had already got two of the dies in the offer from another POTD recently and was a bit cross with CC that they didn't take this into consideration when compiling a new POTD. Still - they managed to sell out early just the same and we all missed out on the rest of the scheduled programmes. Hey ho! X
